This winter was also cold. However, the temperature suddenly started to fluctuate from the end of February, and cherry blossoms are in full bloom all over the country, even though it is still mid-March. The magnolia tree in my garden also bloomed in no time. I have taken pictures of magnolia flowers many times during this time of year, but I always miss the timing and the flowers end up with brown stains.
It is a tree that requires a lot of work, as it is very difficult to clean up after the leaves have fallen and it is also very difficult to clean up after the flowers have fallen. I had been hoping to at least take pictures of the pure white flowers when they are in bloom, and finally the chance came.
